It's time for plain language!
The shock over Nadja Benaissa's surprising exit from “Let's Dance” is still deep in everyone. Juror Joachim Llambi in particular has clear words about the viewers' decision.

“Let's Dance” from Nadja Benaissa is absurd for Llambi

In the eighth “Let’s Dance” show you can Nadia Benaissa more than points. The jury gave her an impressive 26 points for the first performance – and a whopping 30 points for the second dance. This means she made it to second place in the jury rankings that evening. Nevertheless, in the end she doesn't get any further. “What a show. Great performances, strong surprises, brave choreographies and then this ending. For me a slap in the face for performance and fairness”might Joachim Llambi made his personal point of view clear on Instagram.

That Nadja and dance partner Vadim Garbuzov are out is “unbelievable” for Llambi. He writes: “Two strong dances, commitment, quality, development and yet they have to go. Not understandable for many viewers. Not for me either.” Anyone who had honestly looked at the performance yesterday would know: “Gustav Schäfer is a likeable guy, an entertainer, an asset to the show. But in terms of dancing, he was the weakest yesterday. Period. If someone is allowed to stay while a couple who was number one for me leaves, then something is going very wrong.”

Joachim Llambi: “Where performance no longer counts, the show loses”

In his eyes, this result is “not a victory for justice” but “a victory of defiance, fan camps and blind propaganda”. Joachim Llambi is referring to the critics on social media who would repeatedly claim that the jurors have their favorites. “Llambi is to blame. Has no idea, should be replaced and and and. RTL is to blame. Everyone is insulted, insulted, attacked. But you are meeting the wrong people,” he clarifies: “In the end, you are meeting the candidates. People who train, fight, give everything and are then sacrificed for a lesson.”
